Anyhoo..I have very long,thick hair, and was dx'd hypothyroid shortly before my MS dx. Earlier this year, I started pulling handfulls of hair off my head, almost on demand. I though this was odd, but then I remembered it was a symptom of hypothyroid. Since the fatigue from that and MS are so much the same, it took me awhile to even think of it, but that's what it was alright..Upped my med to 150 micrograms..

As far as C, I haven't been on it for about a year, but I remember saying that I was all for turning back the clock, but not so far back as teenage acne & oily skin..
well, if you have a neurological condition, such as MS, and you want a drug that's supposed to affect the lesions in the brain somehow, you're going to need it to get past the blood brain barrier somehow.
